| To condense many of them... Normal array, e.g. Dim Array%(10) 1) global 2) can't be used in custom types 3) can't be passed into/returned from functions 4) can be multi-dimension 5) faster than... "BlitzArrays(TM)", e.g. Array%[10] 1) global or local 2) can be used in custom types 3) can be passed into and returned from functions 4) slower than normal arrays 5) can only be one dimension 6) undocumented (meaning that the implementation may change, so don't rely on them to always be there...officially) All - if I missed anything, or got something wrong, speak up. |

| Hi Folks, @Soja: I thought the use of arrays within types was documented? If so, does that make them different to Blitz Arrays? Later, Jes |

| Hi SoggyP, I don't understand. Do you mean to say you can use a normal array () inside a custom type? Or are you still referring to the [] array type? I'm pretty sure that's still a "BlitzArray", regardless of whether it's in a type definition or elsewhere. I didn't think it was documented though (as only part of a custom type or in general). Do you have a reference somewhere? Thx. |
